    Hi,

    I would like to know what is the correct workflow in Sketchup to obtain valid GCode.
    I know there is SketchUcam but I dont know if it is still supported.

    There are several plugin like Slicer or SliceModeler but they generate only sections out of model.
    Those plugin are still manteined and what are the differences between them?

    What is the correct way to generate GCode in Sketchup?

    Thank you.

      I wouldn't create gcode with SketchUp directly. You should export a solid object as STL and use an external slicer program (Cura, Slic3r, Makerbot, KISSlicer, ...).
